House Hacking Your First Duplex

When most young adults think about housing, they think about rent, roommates, and rising costs, not ownership. However, one of our clients, a University of Houston-Downtown graduate now pursuing his master’s degree at Texas A&M University, decided to do things differently. Instead of renting another apartment in Bryan-College Station, he bought a duplex. He lives in one unit, rents out the other, and his tenant’s rent now covers most of his mortgage. He’s earning his degree, building equity, and gaining real-world experience as a property owner, all at the same time.That’s what it means to live smart and invest young.Created by Adriana Perez, REALTOR®, Texas real estate sales agent, License No. 829146, sponsored by Surge Realty. 409.927.0881This podcast is for general educational and informational purposes only and is not legal, tax, financial, lending, insurance, inspection, engineering, investment, or other professional advice.
